Your Opinions, Please, On My Latest Handle Design

I should have known an A1C did the sheath, they are notorious for not putting any polish on...or were... because now the USAF has those stupid suede boots. :rolleyes:

I prefer the block design, with more wood it probably floats better, which will help the high speed operators swim up to sentries with greater ease, all that critical arm strength is needed to slit the throats silently.

Yes--it grants them additional stealth buoyancy so they can carry more gear without getting bogged down while doing reconnaissance in enemy waters. :D
 
And with those sharp corners you'll still have a good grip even when the knife is covered in blood and guts!

Genius! I don't think there's been anything this tactical since the SMATCHET!!!

:thumbup:
 
Why does everything have to be "tactical" with you people?! This is obviously a traditional design. LOOK AT THE HANDLE FOR PETE'S SAKE.


Sheesh.

The suede boots rock! (unless of course you're a maintainer or anyone else who ever gets dirty...then they suck...but for those of us who walk from the airplane back to our desk the lack of polish is a good deal)

On topic: All you need is a picture of it next to a gun. Everyone knows a knife isn't super duper military combat ready unless its pictured on a fur blanket with at least one gun and some ammunition strewn about. Without that it's never going to sell.
 
Your handle design has, as the French so elegantly put it, a certain I-don't-know-what.

I can't imagine what you will attempt next, given all that you have achieved with this particular piece.

"since we all know that engineers don't design good knives; people that punch hard do"

This thread has at least given me a good laugh. This line is one of the funniest things i've ever read.

Thanks, I wasn't laughing hard enough until this post!

The knife is amazingly well thought out by the way. If you send it to me I will put it through its paces during my Bare Grills citizen survival academy i'm hosting next week at the local hotel. Should be a real test.
 
Wait.....are you allowed to eat dead zebras there? It's no academy without the dead zebras....
 
This guy could learn something from you about knifemaking. It's just amazing how much time and thought you put into this piece. Especially the handle.
 
It's not just military applications that I have mastered. What else do I have to offer, you ask? Well, for an urban apocalyptic survival situation, you will have a unique set of needs. For this, I present to you, the Urban Go Bag Mini Tool (UGBaMiT).

It is compact, but not so compact as to be useless. Anybody can design and build a wharncliffe that fits in an Altoids tin. That would be very cute, wouldn't it. But would it be useful, like the UGBaMiT? Just look at this picture, and judge for yourself.

If you are an expert at urban apocalyptic survival, I think you will appreciate this more than any so-called "multi-tool" you have ever seen.
 
Brilliant! I love how the wide, thin handle slabs will cut into you hand if you grip it too tightly, warning you long before you apply enough force to break the blade.

Also, those strategically placed holes to move the CG, and lower the overall weight.

I don't see the pliers, wire cutters, hard wire cutters, crimping tool, hammer, prybar, mirror, fish scaler, ruler, sawblade, diamond file, magnifying glass, phillips, flat-blade, torx, and hex screwdrivers #0 - #20, power drill, air compressor, impact wrench, first aid kit, water purifier, fishing tackle, fire starter, or sewing kit. Do these items all stow in the handle, or will I need to purchase them separately? And if they are separate purchases, how do I swap them out to fit my particular apocalypse situation?

Good eye, shorttime. So many people, in a desperate situation, will apply too much pressure, and break the blade.

You noticed the strategic placement of the holes too. Balance is key.

And yes, every tool you list can be stored inside the handle, and purchased as an upgrade package. That is the Our World Is FUBAR Package. We also have a OMG There's Roving Packs of Mutant Carnivores upgrade, which can be combined with the FUBAR Upgrade, or purchased separately.
 
The Mutant Carnivores upgrade would include a BFG and the infinite ammo cheat code, I hope.

Me personally, I like the 30mm Vulcan gatling.

Do you think I should also invest in the Stryker LAV option? Or would that be overkill?
